Art Deco Filigree Blue Stone Ring

This item is an antique or vintage ring with a prominent faceted blue gemstone set in a white metal, likely gold given the '10K' marking visible on the inner band. The gemstone appears to be a rectangular or emerald cut, exhibiting a vibrant blue hue, possibly an aquamarine, blue topaz, or synthetic sapphire, though further testing would be required for definitive identification. The setting features elaborate filigree work characteristic of the Art Deco period (roughly 1920s-1930s). The shoulders of the ring display intricate openwork scroll and floral motifs, contributing to a delicate yet sturdy appearance. The band itself is relatively thin and bears some engraved or embossed geometric patterns on its outer surface, extending partially around the circumference. On the inside of the band, a clear '10K' hallmark is visible, indicating the gold purity. Adjacent to the 10K mark, there appears to be another stamped or engraved inscription, possibly a maker's mark or another partial hallmark, though it is not fully legible from the provided image. The ring shows moderate signs of wear consistent with its age, including some surface scratches and a natural patina on the metal. There are no immediately apparent signs of major damage or repairs, such as dents, cracks, or solder marks, but a thorough examination under magnification would be needed. The craftsmanship indicates a finely detailed piece, with attention paid to the decorative elements and secure setting of the stone. The overall quality suggests a well-made piece of jewelry from its era.
